Example prompt: Can you track container MAEU1234567 for me and tell me its current status and which carrier it belongs to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up the real-time or current tracking status of a shipping container using its ISO 6346 number. Ideal for logistics automation, freight monitoring, or supply chain visibility tasks where a container number is known.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ISO 6346 container number format returns validation error
- Container number not found in carrier systems returns 404 or empty status
- Unsupported or unrecognized carrier returns limited tracking data
- Missing required container_number query param returns 400 bad request
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
